Chronotype Diet: A Practical strategy for Owls & Larks to improve cardiometabolic biomarkers
Year: 2022
Type: preprint
Abstract: An individual’s chronotype (indicator of an individual’s circadian rhythm in relation to the light-dark cycle) has been linked to their cardiometabolic risk, and dietary intake. Whilst dietary interventions in the form of intermittent energy restriction (IER), an eating pattern consisting of periods of restricted intake followed by periods of unrestricted energy intake, has been shown to help improve cardiometabolic health in a range of population groups. Therefore, it is important to determine how chronotype may influence the effectiveness of IER and the resulting impact on cardiometabolic risk, and how this knowledge may impact dietary interventions and recommendations to the wider population. To do this, it is important to identify & summarise literature that asses an individual’s chronotype prior to undergoing a form of IER and cardiometabolic risk assessments. It is also important to identify any strength, weaknesses, and gaps in the literature to provide recommendations for future study designs and provide recommendations. This scoping review will focus on 1) consolidating studies that include data on intermittent energy restriction and chronotype and the relationship to cardiometabolic disease risk, 2) summarise the practical application using chronotype as a potential guide for dietary interventions and 3) identify and discuss gaps in the study of chronotype and intermittent energy restriction in relation to cardiometabolic risk factors.
